Something I overlooked is that we also need the RDF namespace for the 
rdf:datatype attributes on EARL pointers.

Yes, that would be the naming convention described at 
http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/usingTCDL#chapt-conventions.

The task force uses TCDL (developed by the BenToWeb project) to avoid 
the long process of creating a language from scratch. Hosting TCDL at a 
W3C address would be interpreted by many as a kind of endorsement, and 
there has been some pressure to avoid the impression of endorsement. 
For a W3C version of TCDL, it would be necessary to find a working 
group who wants to add the work on such a language to its charter.
But regardless of whether there will be a W3C version, I always want to 
hear about things you don't like about TCDL.

Best regards,

Christophe
